Docker - Change Docker's default data folder

By xngo on November 27, 2020

The best way that I found to change the default data directory of Docker is to create /etc/docker/daemon.json and add the new path as followed.

{ 
    "graph": "/docker/new/path" 
}

Then, restart docker.

systemctl restart docker
